Although the chemistry examination is near by, it is still hard for me to concentrate on the boring textbook that lies upon my desk. Yesterday afternoon, I together with some med-volleyball teammates went to the newly open volleyball field to play volleyball with a view to stirring our weary souls which were poisoned by the "chemicals".
As a rule, we warmed up first and started to play "free-attack". In a team, I played the role as a hitter. Being a hitter must take the responsibility of making a good attack, but it was still hard for me to find the critical hitting point of the volleyball. This is the condition which happens much when we play "free attack": I throw the volleyball to the setter, run, jump and desperately hit the ball. But the power of the ball doesn't correspond to my effort. It may fly slowly or fly outside the field. Sometimes I did feel disappointed when I saw others play good "free-attack".
Playing "free-attack" for a while, we decided to exchage our roles! I exchaged to be a setter. Being a setter, I must raise the ball in appropriate height and distance so that the hitter could easily hit the ball. It was a tough job because the slightest errors created by the setter could cause the greatest difference: The ball might go toward a strage direction so the hitter could barely hit the ball, or the ball might fly to the other side of the field. Furthermore, when standing on the setter's position, I could scarecely determine the ball I raised whether the height or distance was right or not.
After playing the role of a setter, I did realize the disappointment when setter did his level best to raise a nice ball but the hitter didn't give the corresponding attack. I must practice more to be the hitter whom the setter can trust in!
